What is Jack’d?

Jack’d is a dating and meeting online app predominantly used by gay and bisexual men and the trans and queer community. It has a culturally and ethnically diverse userbase. You can create a profile and upload images, including to a private album. Jack’d displays world-wide and nearby user profiles. These profiles are sorted in a grid based on their location.

Once you open a profile you can initiate a chat, send a ‘wave’ or share a private album. Images included in a private album or chat are not actively moderated. The ‘disappearing’ images feature sets an image to only display once, but it could be screenshotted before it disappears. You can specify if you are ‘interested’ in someone and, if they are interested in you, the app will send a notification. You can also see a list of users who have viewed your profile or waved at you. Additional functionality, such as unlimited album views, is available via a subscription service.
